RS16 GlasFilter
A new manual coffee brewing method designed for single-cup brewing with 16g coffee for 200ml water (80g/1l); its construction allows optimal flavor development because flavor-carrying coffee fats are not retained, and glass as an inert, neutral filter medium adds no flavor of its own.
